Rosemary Flower Essence || Memory || Oregon Grown

A 1oz bottle of Oregon-grown Rosemary Flower Essence

Rosemary is known as the “herb of remembrance” and it calls you to remember every aspect of yourself.

Positive qualities: For connecting to the memory of one's self or ancestors. For being more mindful, aware, and present. For reconnecting with one's body after trauma.

Patterns of imbalance: Inattentive or spending too much time daydreaming. Not feeling in tune with one's body. Feeling disconnected from self based on the perception of others.

Personal interpretation: Rosemary is so much more than a dried grocery store spice, and even more than a fresh sprig of leaves. Not many get to see that she has abundant, delicate, attractive, expressive, nuanced flowers.

Much like those who only know rosemary in a Rosemary from a bottle, those who only know us in one context are not able to appreciate the complex parts of ourselves that they don't get to see. They may have grown accustomed to us presenting a certain way (say, in an office or customer service setting) when there's actually an entire other side to us that has always been there, but has been overlooked. 

Rosemary reminds us to re-connect with our full spectrum of personalities and emotions. That we are not defined by others' perceptions of us. We don't necessarily have to show all of these facets to others, we can remain compartmentalized if we choose. But we mustn't forget them. 

What are Flower Essences

Flower essences are liquid extracts of flower vibrational energy that are used to address emotional imbalances and mind-body well-being. They're like crystals and plants combined, and no, they're not a replacement for your medications.

They are however, dilute herbal infusions prepared from pristine garden blossoms. In fact they're so dilute that I'll come right out and tell you, if you had them tested in a lab they probably wouldn't detect any physical evidence of the plant at all. So like, the opposite of potentially toxic essential oils.

And yet somehow, people have been reporting good experiences with them since the 1930's.

You might know, my background is in the hard sciences and research. My degree is in biology. I'm a skeptic and I want evidence. But at the same time, to pretend that modern science can understand everything in our universe is just self-righteous and disrespectful to nature.

That said, to make them, the fresh, dew-filled blossoms are gathered in the early morning and infused by the warmth and light of the sun.

This process creates an imprint of the unique energy pattern of the flowers into the water, which then embodies the healing archetype of that particular plant.

This is combined with the intuition of the crafter, who connects with the plant as the essence is being made. Very small doses are taken orally over a period of about a month, and they can also be used topically in creams and sprays. 

Putting the flowers in water is easy, but personally, it took *several years* of working with plants for me to feel connected enough to begin this energy work.

I've been over here growing this line of flower essences that aren't mass-produced like commercial ones are. I believe there has to be something lost when you're producing enough flower essence to be shipped to every single health food store in the "western" world.
